First it was a lawsuit against the NFL and Roger Goodell, and now a New Orleans congressman, Cedric Richmond (D-LA) wants Goodell to testify in front of the Judiciary Antitrust Subcommittee about the blown call against the Saints in the NFC Championship game. Richmond said, “The Saints should be on their way to Atlanta to play in the Super Bowl.
